I've had people tell me "Must see Due South! Due South is godlike and wonderful!" I've never had anyone say anything to me about TS more positive than, "Huh. You mean you've never seen an episode and you still can read the FF? [wistful pause]

Hee! SO well put. :)

During my six-month soujourn in TS, I read a lot of the fiction and then, when I saw the show, I kind of went "huh?".
